Wspc Series In Advanced Integration And Packaging: Cost Analysis Of Electronic Systems (Second Edition) (ePub)

-->This book provides an introduction to the cost modeling for electronic systems that is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in electrical, mechanical and industrial engineering, and professionals involved with electronics technology development and management. This book melds elements of traditional engineering economics with manufacturing process and life-cycle cost management concepts to form a practical foundation for predicting the cost of electronic products and systems. Various manufacturing cost analysis methods are addressed including: process-flow, parametric, cost of ownership, and activity based costing. The effects of learning curves, data uncertainty, test and rework processes, and defects are considered. Aspects of system sustainment and life-cycle cost modeling including reliability (warranty, burn-in), maintenance (sparing and availability), and obsolescence are treated. Finally, total cost of ownership of systems, return on investment, cost-benefit analysis, and real options analysis are addressed. -->Contents:IntroductionManufacturing Cost Modeling:Process-Flow AnalysisYieldEquipment/Facilities Cost of Ownership (COO)Activity-Based Costing (ABC)Parametric Cost ModelingTest EconomicsDiagnosis and ReworkUncertainty Modeling — Monte Carlo AnalysisLearning CurvesLife-Cycle Cost Modeling:ReliabilitySparingWarranty Cost AnalysisBurn-In Cost ModelingAvailabilityThe Cost Ramifications of ObsolescenceReturn on Investment (ROI)The Cost of ServiceSoftware Development and Support CostsTotal Cost of Ownership ExamplesCost Benefit and Risk TradeoffsReal Options AnalysisAppendices:NotationWeighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) --> -->Readership: Graduate students and professionals in electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering and industrial engineering. -->Cost;Life-Cycle Cost;Through-Life Costing;Manufacturing;Sustainment;Electronics;Modeling;Return on InvestmentKey Features:Engineering economics treats the analysis of the economic effects of engineering decisions and is often identified with capital allocation problems
